Automatic Code Generator for Laravel

Stop creating the same Models, Create/Update/Delete Views, Controllers and migrations manually. Just tell Autovel about your deata structures and let it automatically create all of those for you.

In a few seconds, you get automatically created model, view, controller for each resource with fully working New, Edit, Delete functionalities in the frontend.

Setup

1. Install Laravel and create scaffolding (php artisan make:auth)
2. Within the Laravel Install Directory, Download Autovel from https://github.com/akash-mitra/autovel.git
3. Modify the autovel.json as per your project datastructure (see below for options)
4. Run autovel.php
5. Fullstack automation complete with both backend and frontend work.

Example autovel.json Config File

Autovel gets all the information from autovel.json config file. An example config file is provided with the code base. You can open the same config file and change it according to your project's need.
